I thought with the New Zealanders out here for the cricket this summer, it would be good to at least try to understand a bit of what they're saying!! 
***KIWI LANGUAGE LESSON***
Have you spent years trying and failing to understand what New Zealanders are saying? By following these easy steps, you too can hold a conversation with a New Zealander. Tip - you'll need to sound these out, either in your mind or aloud.
What you hear and what it really means:
BETTING: "Betting Gloves" are worn by betsmen in crucket.
BRIST: Part of the human anatomy between the "nick" and the billy"
BUGGER: As in "mine is bugger than yours".
ERROR BUCK: Language spoken in countries like "Surria", "E-Jupp" and Libernon".
EKKA DYMOCKS: University staff.
GUESS: Flammable vapour used in stoves.
SENDELS: Thongs, open shoes.
COLOUR: Terminator, murderer.
CUSS: Kiss.
DUCK HID: Term of abuse directed mainly at males.
PHAR LAP: NZ's famous horse which was actually christened "PHILLIP".
ERROR ROUTE: As in "Arnotts mulk error route buskets".
FITTER CHENEY: A type of long flat pasta not to be confused with "rugger tony"
And finally, after a recent rugby international between our 2 great nations, some wag had written on the stadium wall "Australia Sucks". The following day though, this had been amended to show the full
score: "Australia "Sucks - New Zealand Nil"
